After Bf4 RxR RxR Qg2 black looks better to me, but so >it did from the start position. Maybe black is looking for a drawing line similar to this ... 1... Bf4 2. Rxe8 Rxe8 3. Qg2 Qh5 4. f3 Bd3 5. gxf4 Re6 6. Kh1 Be4 7. f5 Bxf3 8. fxe6 Bxg2+ 9. Kxg2 Qg4+ 10. Kf2 Qf5+ 11. Kg3 Qg6+ 12. Kf4 Qh6+ Not sure if this is accurate, but Bf4 may complicate the game allowing white to play incorrectly while having a draw line to fall back on if white plays the best moves.
